How to make egg frankie at home(Egg rolls)

This is a fun snacks which I was familiar since the childhood.In the streets of Kolkata ,it was the most popular street foods.The Indian fried flat-breads were coated with fried egg and filled with various mouthwatering fillings like meat kebabs,chilly chicken or raw vegetable salads to form a scrumptious delicacy.The  street food business can never go wrong with the rolls and the shops were always thronged with a group of individuals from the age group ranging from school goers to the senior citizens.

Only when I shifted to Mumbai ,I was missing these childhood the favorites of mine,when one day I saw the same rolls being served in a shop in Bandra by the name of “kathi rolls” .The rolls were not similar ,as they used rumali roti(which are huge and ultra thin flat breads  cooked over a hot pan and then directly over the fire without oil).The fillings mostly used were  vegetarian keeping in mind the large vegetarian eaters in Mumbai.These too appealed to me,though the filling seemed a little dry but they were not very popular in Mumbai and were not available in many shops.

In the recent days , another dish of the same genera similar in texture and flavor has attracted  the foodies in Mumbai and the dish is called  “Frankie”.The main attraction of this dish lies in its name.You may say,”What’s in a name?” But you won’t believe that this is the same “egg roll” from my childhood era only packaged in a different name and has earned a huge popularity specially among the young crowd.Now when I prepare egg roll at home I call it egg  franky and my daughter gobbles it without the  slightest doubt and fuss.
